  1. Thanks guys. Leaning towards True Detective as it is the only contemporary one and I would like to start watching something that is on now so I can talk about it. Figure I'll start on House of Cards or The Shield next as they seem a bit more exciting than Mad Men (apologies TJ!) Watching these shows with a friend and he has already seen Dexter and Sons so they are out the window at the minute unfortunately. TV shows are amazing these days, I never think that I will be able to enjoy another one after each masterpiece finished but they just keep on making such involving and rewarding shows. I heard an interesting speech by Kevin Spacey where he claimed that TV offers a much more involving experience than Hollywood (specifically on Netflix) as there is the time to build a cast of well-developed characters with no fear of alienating sponsors or justifying massive budgets. I think he might be on to something. And to any of you looking for good comedy check out Arrested Development. It has to be the funniest, cleverest comedy there has been. I have watched each episode countless times and it just keeps on being funny.
  2. I finished the Wire this week and got that bittersweet feeling you always get when an amazing series is finished. It is now part of the holy trinity for me (Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and The Wire). I am looking for a new series to get in to - any suggestions? I have heard The Shield is good and similar to The Wire and a lot of my friends are into True Detective...
  3. Has anyone here bought a Wii U? I got one the other day with the new Mario and was pleasantly surprised. The game pad with a touch screen is a great idea, I thought it would be gimmicky and limited but it adds a lot to games like Zombie U where you have to constantly use it. Mario is awesome as always (if a little short) - I don't think any game has the capacity to make me grin as much as the Mario series have. Anyone else have one?
  4. New York - Frank Sinatra
  5. Well.... I never completed Braid so I don't know, and don't reveal the twist lol! I got to the last level I think, certainly the last world, and stopped playing. It is a class game though in how it makes you think in different ways to solve the puzzles. The only game I can compare it to (and the comparison isn't immediately obvious) is Portal, another weird platformer that gave me a funny feeling in my head! I'd recommend Braid to the hilt, it can't cost much these days.
  6. Yes! The soundtrack is amazing, very well styled also. Kind of like old skool GTA with more violence If you like the indie games I am sure you have tried Super Meat Boy? If not it is amazing, for me the best game to be released in years (even though it is a bit old in the tooth now). It reminds me of old platform games and also comes up with some new twists. Edit: Braid is another good indie platformer, more headmelting rather than old skool though. Another favourite indie game of mine is Geometry Wars - proper old skool shoot-em-up. On a similar note any of the older generation remember Elite? It seems like the king of games IS getting a release now that it has gotten funding. What a game http://news.sky.com/story/1032971/elite-dangerous-secures-kickstarter-funding
  7. I was at the Warehouse Project about 4 years ago, it was a big underground carpark. Not sure if it has changed since then but it was class! Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert. Not that I can remember a hell of a lot....
  8. Hmmm might have been funny/topical 15 years ago. Now that's just mean
  9. Cheeky. I live in Belfast and having never visited Burnley I can't comment on its attractions. Belfast though is a great city with a nightlife that stands up against the rest of the UK. Warm, friendly people and great pubs - I think you'll enjoy it. I saw Orbital a couple of weeks ago in the Ulster Hall. Absolutely cracking night, they played 'Belfast' three times and seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere. One of my favourite dance acts, had given up hope of seeing them play live when they split a few years back. Phil (or Paul) Hartnoll played a great classics set at a club after as well. Interestingly they didn't play many old songs, seemed to be making beats up on the fly.
  10. Hi, I've been a visitor to these pages for a while now so I can catch up with the inside scoop on Rovers. Living in Northern Ireland it is hard to get any Rovers-related news and even harder to meet a fellow fan so this website has been my salvation. Decided to join up today instead of getting on with coursework (procrastination is a wonderful thing). Look forward to joining in the debates over the next while.
